Mund-Nasen-Bedeckung im 枚ffentlichen Raum als weitere Komponente zur Reduktion der 脺bertragungen von COVID-19. Strategieerg盲nzungen zu empfohlenen Schutzma脽nahmen und Zielen (3. Update) Das RKI empfiehlt ein generelles Tragen einer Mund-Nasen-Bedeckung (MNB) in bestimmten Situationen im 枚ffentl...ichen Raum als einen weiteren Baustein, um Risikogruppen zu sch眉tzen und den Infektionsdruck und damit die Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit von COVID-19 in der Bev枚lkerung zu reduzieren.

The spread of COVID-19 poses a challenge for emerging markets such as those in Africa and Latin America. While governments around the world are suffering from a shortage of ventilators, hospital beds, and personal protective equipment, availability of these items is already extremely limited in some... countries. In Africa, countries including Mali, Liberia, and Burkina Faso have only a few ventilators available to aid their populations, and there is also a lack of reliable oxygen supplies, ICUs, and healthcare workers to treat the sick. Additionally, many countries in Africa are already suffering from food insecurity and weak economies, which will worsen the long-term effects of coronavirus.
Keeping these factors in mind, GeoPoll conducted a remote study in 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa on the effects coronavirus is already having on people throughout the region.
